That depends on what you want to check. For inbound traffic (connections coming in from the Internet), you'd need to use a port scanner of some sort. If your Internet connection goes through a modem or router that has Network Address Translation (NAT), then you won't be able to do it the easy way, and will need to find a port scanner (such as nmap) than you can run from another computer on your local network.

This seems a lot complicated than I expected, I bought EIS thinking everything would be ok and there wouldn't be any firewall issues. Is their any chance I would be able to get a refund for my product?

I think you are fine. Problem normally is when you run simple tests like Gibsons Shields up you are actually testing the router. When I want to test the firewall I do it on my think pad and connect to my Verizon Hot Spot. No router, and EIS tests fine. Your safe. Pete

She explained to me how she doesn't like the lack of features, she also keeps complaining how its different to what she's used to she says its hard to navigate, I was the one who gave her the money to buy it, I have even showed her how to navigate and use the features many times but she still seems unsatisfied so I told her I will request a refund (We both use the same licence).
